355ml can pours a pale golden color with a small white head that leaves no lacing behind. Aroma is light grains and hops. Taste is slightly metallic with light malts and an undesirable hop bitterness that lingers. Slightly below average for this style.

Pours a bright golden color with some head. There aren’t a tonne of differences between this beer and Labatt Blue. Some hoppy bitternes. Not good.

Originally rated December 2005. This beer is best drunk from the bottle (review is from glass though). Pours a straw yellow colour with a small head and no retention, nor lacing. The nose is sweet with malt. Flat mouthfeel, with the taste of corn all over. Just too light though. Not like corn at its greatest, just watered down corn. Stick to Miller High Life... and no where near Miller’s Genuine Draft.

A bit hoppy and golden in color. A decent pale lager with a lite bitter flavor. It had been a while, but I enjoyed it.

341 mL Bottle. Straw body with a small white head dissipating to a thin foamy ring with some spotty lace. Aroma of cereal grains and Corn Flakes, a hint of earth and a chemical harshness to it. It tastes like a liquid combination of Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies with intense sweet corn accentuating the blandness. Sweet corn speaks up most strongly in the aftertaste; corn husk finish tapers off cleanly, making it the only attribute for which this beer can score a bonus point in Overall. 150 years of brewing tradition, eh!

Pours golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is very dull and slightly sweet. Notes of corn and other fillers. Not much to say about the flavour. pretty watery. Pretty standard Canadian pale lager.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, thick white head, soft lacing. Nose is green apple, clean grain, very light adjunct. Flavours are slightly bitter, with more grain and fruit, especially apples. A very clean, inoffensive lager, which is what I expect from Labatts. Inoffensive, not bad for a pale macro lager.

bottle. Poured clear amber with a receding white head. Aroma is light grainy malt. Crisp clean mouthfeel, light body, average carbonation . Flavour is lighty malt and generic grains. Finishes dry but not bitter.
